Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0210843A2] A photonic crystal, and a photonic device having such a photonic crystal, configured by changing its physical geometry in at least one region to alter light propagation and/or confinement. The configuring means may include electrostrictive, piezoelectric or magnetostrictive components of the photonic crystal, or an actuation device affixed to the photonic crystal.
